Itâs hard to write poignantly when youâre happy. Itâs hard to write at all about happy things, so much easier to put words down when your heart is aching and it feels like you are full to the brim with sadness. To put your feelings into phrases others can understand is easy when all you can think of is ripping, tearing, screaming, silence. Why is that? Why, when my smile is brighter than the stars and my body feels made of sunbeams, when my heart is beating twice as fast and when my thoughts swirl together into a mix of laughter and just, brightness, why can I not write as eloquently as when Iâm drowning in myself? The words donât flow, they blur. I suppose what Iâm trying to say is, loving you is wonderful but it blinds my hands to anything but your skin.
